Unaspis citri (Comstock, 1883) View in CoL

This species was recorded from Malta in the FaEu database when it was compiled by E.M. Danzig and G.W. Watson in 2004, based on a record in the European Plant Protection Organization (EPPO) Plant Quarantine Database (EPPO, 2014). This important plant quarantine species was not collected in Malta during this study, despite repeated investigations, and we are of the opinion that the EPPO record is erroneous. For these reasons, U. citri is excluded from the Maltese scale insect fauna.
